Which version of sendmail?
Can you telnet from the Mac to LINUX_HOST? (telnet linux.host 25)
And see a greeting from sendmail?

Does your version of *.mc have something like this in it:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

If so, that tells sendmail only to listen on 127.0.0.1, which will bar
any relaying even from local net machines
